Grains
Hops
Yeast
Additions
Water
Mashing
1. Prepare the Mash
In a large brew kettle, add 5 gallons of filtered water and heat to 160°F (71°C). Once heated, add the Pilsner Malt, Wheat Malt, Flaked Wheat, and Acidulated Malt. Stir well to combine.
2. Mash Rest
Maintain the mash temperature at 150°F (65°C) for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even heat distribution.
3. Sparging
After the mash rest, sparge the grains with hot water at 170°F (77°C) until you collect around 6 gallons of wort.
Boiling
4. Boil the Wort
Bring the collected wort to a boil. Once boiling, add the Hallertau hops and boil for 60 minutes.
5. Add Flavor Hops
With 15 minutes left in the boil, add the Saaz hops, coriander seeds, dried orange peel, and lemon zest.
Cooling and Fermentation
6. Cool the Wort
After the boil, cool the wort quickly using a wort chiller or an ice bath until it reaches about 70°F (21°C).
7. Pitch the Yeast
Transfer the cooled wort to a sanitized fermentation vessel and pitch the Witbier yeast. Seal the vessel with an airlock.
8. Fermentation
Allow the beer to ferment at a temperature of around 68°F (20°C) for 1-2 weeks, or until fermentation is complete.
